Suggested One Read: The Book of Joan

While science fiction books may not be everyone’s first thought for a One Read book, they can offer a new way of looking at our own world. “The Book of Joan” by Lidia Yuknavitch takes place in the near future, where the world has become a battleground. It’s a dystopian re-imagining of Joan of Arc. The nominator writes that this novel is “serious and well written — it would make for interesting discussions on an important topic.”
